Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bioengineering, and relates to a mutant of a plant-derived nitrilase, a coding gene, and a chiral intermediate (S)-3-cyano in the hydrolysis of racemic isobutylsuccinonitrile to synthesize pregabalin - Application of 5-methylhexanoic acid. Background technique
[0002] Pregabalin, whose chemical name is (S)-3-aminomethyl-5-methylhexanoic acid, has the structural formula (I), and is the 3-position of the inhibitory neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Isobutyl substituents (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2008, 47:3500-3504). Pregabalin is the drug of choice for treating conditions such as nerve pain, anxiety, and epilepsy. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a green, efficient, and highly optically pure pregabalin synthesis process.
[0003]
[0004] (S)-3-cyano-5-methylhexanoic acid (CMHA) is the key chiral intermediate of pregabalin, and this compound can be synthesized into S-form pr...
